Technical Program Manager
Dallas, TX | Full-time
Reports to Co-founder/CTO

Why this role exists

This company is scaling quickly. Enterprise customers are live, expectations are high, and execution can’t be reactive anymore.

They need a Technical Program Manager who can build an operating rhythm across Product, Engineering, and Operations. Someone who makes delivery predictable, surfaces risk early, and keeps commitments from turning into last-minute fire drills.

This is not a “run Jira and send status updates” role. It’s ownership.

What you will own

Program delivery (end-to-end)

• Lead cross-functional technical initiatives from planning through delivery.
   
• Translate big priorities into clear workstreams, owners, timelines, and dependencies.
   
• Keep delivery on track across teams and adjust quickly when reality changes.
   
• Identify risks early, escalate with context, and prevent surprises.
   

Cross-functional alignment

• Partner with Engineering, Product, and leadership to align priorities and sequencing.
   
• Facilitate planning and execution touchpoints that keep teams coordinated.
   
• Connect work across teams so critical initiatives don’t stall in silos.
   

Execution infrastructure

• Improve visibility into what’s moving, what’s stuck, and what decisions are needed.
   
• Introduce lightweight tools and systems that improve speed and forecasting (including smart use of AI).
   
• Establish a consistent cadence for reporting, tracking, and accountability.
   

What success looks like in your first 90 days

• You create a clear execution roadmap for the company’s highest priority initiatives (owners, timelines, dependencies, decision points).
   
• Delivery becomes more predictable: fewer surprises, fewer escalations, tighter follow-through.
   
• Enterprise commitments are met with clear cross-team coordination.
   
• Leadership has real visibility into progress and risk, without chasing people for updates.
   

The profile that tends to win here

• You operate independently and don’t need heavy direction to move work forward.
   
• You bring urgency without chaos.
   
• You can influence without formal authority.
   
• You’re steady in ambiguity and good at turning “messy” into “manageable.”
   
• You leverage tools well and care about outcomes more than process theater.
   

Qualifications

• 5+ years in Technical Program Management / Technical Project Management or similar cross-functional delivery roles.
   
• Strong understanding of the SDLC and how product + engineering work actually ships.
   
• Proven track record delivering complex initiatives on schedule across multiple teams.
   
• Experience building execution discipline in fast-moving or startup environments.
   

Compensation + benefits

• Competitive base salary
   
• Performance bonus
   
• Equity
   
• Health, dental, vision
